Late Roman Shield Personalization
#38
Quote:As far as late ovals go (and again, I apologize, I'm sure this has been debated elsewhere) the majority have been found with horizontal grips. But some have been found with vertical, correct?

I've fought (admittedly SCA style) with both and vertical grips just FEEL so much better. You have tons more control and your arm doesn't tire nearly as quickly.

Read what we discussed about that here:
